How Separate Bedrooms Can Help Save Your Marriage

According to The National Association of Home Builders an increase in homes with two master bedrooms are in demand. Why is that? Common sense dictates more folks want a higher degree of privacy even when they are married.

The New Times says, more and more married and single couples are opting for two master bedroom
homes. Say what you will, most folks are redefining the way in which they want to live. Currently, many are accepting the life styles that are most conducive to them.

Do you fondly remember the very first day you met your future spouse? You know, that day when you told yourself that your future would be nothing without that person being in your life. Man, you were on cloud nine. Your entire life centered on that person. When asked to go out by friends, you would come up with some lame excuse why you could not go out.

Your friends knew Cupid’s arrow had found your heart and they would joke about it. However, none of that mattered to you because you were in seventh heaven.

You only wanted to be with that one special person. Whenever you were apart, you understood the meaning of absence makes the heart grow fonder. I will address the opposite of that later.

While you were dating whenever you visited each other, it was very difficult to tear yourselves from each other. It was during those times that the both of you realized you had to be together all the time. You decide to get married.

In many cases, the couple will decide to share the same dwelling before marriage, which you did. After settling down, you establish a daily routine. Someone was squeezing the toothpaste improperly. Since the relationship was relatively new, the other laughed this off and adapted to it.

Later, the toilet paper was on the roller incorrectly. It should have been facing downward. Throughout the relationship, one member of the couple would sing in the shower, however, on one particular day the other found the singing to be very annoying.

The next night one snored very loudly all night, interfering with the other’s sleep.The stresses associated with these issues were beginning to take an adverse toll. It was time for a serious talk.

They first acknowledged that they loved each other and wanted to keep the marriage in tact. They openly discussed their differences and concluded they would have separate bedrooms.

As I said earlier, absence make the heart grow fonder, well, familiarity can breed contempt.

Many folks are under the misguided belief that marriage makes a couple become one. No such thing, no one can ever become as one with another human being. We all have our own idiosyncrasies; therefore, we can never become one.

Respect and accept your partner for who they are and not for whom you want them to be.
